Family favorite, it is on the appetizer table every thanksgiving. Also a great recipe when you need to whip something up last minute. I replace the orange juice concentrate with Fior de Sicilia (vanilla extract with orange oil). We always have regular and chocolate graham crackers, gingersnap cookies, green apple slices and vanilla wafers for dipping. Can substitute the cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice.

I have given this recipe to many friends. We all love it. Very easy to make and serve with ginger snaps, fruit, shortbread cookies, chocolate graham crackers.

This is really a great fall treat! I used low fat cream cheese. Make sure to chill it because it is not good right after you mix it up. I used slices of granny smith apples and graham crackers for dipping. Even people that are not pumpkin fans liked it.

It's great to bring to any get together during the fall season. I used sliced apples and graham cracker sticks for dipping. Can't wait to make it again!

Mint isn’t a traditional Irish flavor, but the color of the green mint mousse in this tart lends itself so well to St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, I had to tie them together somehow! The Mint White Chocolate Tart takes a little bit of effort to make with its multiple steps, but the end result is fluffy, subtly sweet and has a perfect hint of mint.

Eggs Benedict, like this Cheesy Eggs Benedict, is the quintessential brunch dish, but it sure can be challenging to serve to a crowd with so many last-minute elements – toasting English muffins, poaching eggs and making hollandaise sauce. Of course, it can be made easier by toasting all the muffins on a sheet in the oven, and by poaching your eggs the day before your brunch. More ...
